The Japan Capital Markets and Global Borrowers Congress brought together over 550 Japanese issuers, investors and intermediaries with the global issuer community. The event remains the place to see all the key players from Japan’s financial markets.

The capital markets stream focused on the need to rebuild, restructure and revitalise the Japanese economy. The discussions were broadly positive and optimistic about Japan’s future, but it was clear that all participants were under no allusions about the hard work required to ensure the economy bounces back healthily.

The global borrowers stream brought together key groups of international borrowers to meet Japanese investors. Their discussions focused on the wider global financial market landscape - the current problems in the Eurozone, the US debt problems, the increased need for better investor relations efforts, how to handle the increased volatility in markets and the outlook for global issuance volumes, patterns and structures in the next 12 months.

We look forward to reconvening at the 2012 Forum, which will coincide with the IMF meetings in Tokyo, to find out how the market shapes up in the next 12 months.

Euromoney would like to thank all sponsors, speakers and delegates for helping to make the Japan Capital Markets and Global Borrowers Congress such a success once again.
